History while you walk
Edmund_B, Nov 2023
Good details on the historic sites when there was bandwidth to pick up the transmissions. Some of the sound was drowned out by crowd noise.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Dear Edmund, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your experience with us and liked the tour details. Regarding the sound quality when the site is crowded, we suggest using headphones to reduce external noise and enhance your experience further. We hope to welcome you back on your next travel adventures! Warm regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Confusion
Dawn_D, Sep 2023
It was very confusing a difficult getting our tickets. The tickets were not accessible until day before and we had no way print and internet an issued so downloading was issue. We ultimately had to stand in line and buy new tickets after all the confusion and downloading mishaps because we missed our time slot. We also could not access the audio tours. Not fool proof but an earlier delivery might have made a difference
Response from Host, Sep 2023

Booked last minute and was pleasantly surprised
Diane_E, Aug 2023
This tour was convenient and amazing. I had previously booked another tour but was unable to find the tour guide. I was able to quickly scheduled this one for the same day and was pleasantly surprised. I got my tickets and instructions with ease. And was able to participate in the tour on my timing. I have already recommended this tour to other travelers. I have met on this trip. Athank you do much for saving me in a pinch.

Dissatisfied on the audio app
yd5whtbqrr, May 2023
We were disappointing with the audio,we didn’t know how to used the app to hear the audio on our phones,so, we didn’t know what was going on with all the beautiful things that the museum have ,we try hard to found out how to used the audio, with no used ,very disappointed!!!

Self Guided much better than Guided Tour
Sonya_S, May 2023
Great way to view the Acropolis Coliseum and Museum for a cheaper price than a long, boring guided tour. We went at our own pace and did not have to stop at every sight to hear a tour guide give a very long explanation. I kept seeing people on guided tours who were not paying attention, on their phones and not even keeping up walking with the group. Basically they were bored. The only issue we encountered is the software did not download on my husband's phone who has an Android but it worked on my I-phone. Internet signal is very weak and no wifi so be sure to download tickets and the audio beforehand. We didn't even bother to use the audio since my husband couldn't hear it. We just walked and read things on our own that had written material. The company agreed to give a partial refund since we didn't have full access to the audio. Also, be prepared to walk up a lot of hills, stairs, slippery rocks, marble, pebbles. The Acropolis Coliseum is not ADA friendly and not all that safe to get to the top. Once you arrive to the top, you cannot even enter the inside of the coliseum, can only walk around it. I think that's a total waste of walking so far in hot temperatures to not be able to go inside. Otherwise, it's still a good attraction and I'm glad we bought this self guided tour versus wasting a lot of money on a guided tour.

Good tour

Well organized and audio guide was good as well. Would recommend this tour to family members and friends

Hello, Greetings from Clio Muse Tours. Thank you for your feedback! Best regards
Audio tour confusing
thelos, Jul 2022
Very efficient but not made clear in the beginning before purchase that tickets will need be downloaded on day before trip to Acropolis and museum and the need to download the apps to get those tickets and audio tour before you arrive to Greece. No problem once downloaded tickets. The audio tour unfortunately was too fast poor directions going from one exhibit to another. Very confusing and I could not follow the discussion well
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hello, Greetings from Clio Muse Tours. You can contact support@cliomuseapp.com for every issue you faced. Best regards
I like the flexibility,...
jason_G, May 2022
I like the flexibility, doing these at my own pace. I found the directions hard to follow a few times. I would have preferred more architectural analysis. Other all pretty good.
Response from Host, May 2022
Hello, Greetings from Clio Muse Tours and thank you for booking with us. We feel sorry for not enjoying your tour with us or felt confused during the physical route of the archaeological site. We take seriously the reviews we get from our guests because we want to improve the products and services we offer to our customers, so we will take your review under consideration.

An excellent counterpart
Jessica_E, May 2022
We actually didn't really use the audio tour portion, but it was great skipping the line and gaining entrance. Plus, being able to listen to the tours after the fact was great too, then you can review them with your photos. One thing I wish the audio tours had was the ability to listen at different speeds, some of these narrators, while interesting, speak much slower than we walk, and being able to listen at a faster speed would be great!
Good Buy If You're Tech Savvy
Carina_L, Apr 2022
This is a good purchase if you are tech savvy and/or can follow instructions very closely because after the purchase, you will need to download and access a couple of sites/apps to get the tickets and download the audio tour. Otherwise, it's a good buy.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hello Carina, Greetings from Clio Muse Tours. We are sorry for your inconvenience and we will try to make things easier for our customers. Hope to hear from you in the future. Best regards
Very informative
Ed_P, Nov 2021
A great, in depth audio accompaniment to a visit to the Acropolis. Sometimes, it was hard to be sure you are standing in the right place at the right moment, but otherwise very informative. We will listen to it again.
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Hi, Greetings from Clio Muse Tours. You have unlimited access to the audio tour, we are so pleased to know that you enjoyed it. Hope to hear from you in the future. Best regards,
Worth it
KimDowell, Oct 2021
We didn't really need this because it RAINED BUCKETS when we went, but it was worth the money and I would do it again.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Hello, Greetings from Clio Muse Tours. We are really excited to know that you enjoyed your visit despite the bad weather conditions. Hope to hear from you soon.
App for audio tour is glitchy
Robin_B, Jul 2021
While we appreciated skipping the line, the audio tour did not work for one of us even though it said audio was available in the app. We listened for a bit together but ended up abandoning it altogether about 1/3 through. We both work in technology and are very savvy so want user error!
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Hello, Greetings from Clio Muse Tours, thank you for your message. Could please give us the reference code of your booking reservation, so we can investigate what went wrong? Best regards, Clio Muse Tours team
Go Now
Brian_D, May 2021
If you are vaccinated and have always wanted to see Greece, now is the time to go. Our tour of the Acropolis was amazing! No crowds! No lines! This tour allowed us to scan our phones and walk right in. The audio tour helps set the scene but we preferred to listen to it the night before and just wander peacefully through the ruins and absorb the history in silence. Silence in Greece!
Response from Host, May 2021
Dear Brian, We are delighted to hear your experience was remarkable! Indeed, the period you visited the Acropolis seems to be ideal thanks to the good temperatures and the moderate tourism activity at the moment. Remember that you can listen to the audio tour as many times as you want once you have the app installed on your mobile! We hope to see you again in the future! Best regards, Ippokratis
Easy, fast and informative tickets and tour
Hade, Jul 2020
Useful combination of tickets and additional info on the monuments. We wanted to be able to tour the Acropolis on our own and in our own pace and yet have some background as to where we were and what we were seeing and this ticked the boxes. Instructions were clear and downloading the app was very easy.
Response from Host, Jul 2020
Dear customer, Thank you for your positive feedback! What you describe is exactly what we were aiming for when we created our audio guides: a fun and stress-free tour, that travelers can take at their own pace. If you have any ideas on how to evolve our app and services, we would love you to share them with us. Warm regards, Christos | Clio Muse Tours Customer Care
Amazing
Emily_C, Jul 2019
This is a well planned tour. Loved the options of receiving a guide, but not tied to a group. Only word of caution I have, you can jump the line to buy the tickets with this, but you cannot jump the line to enter. The line to enter the site is the long line! If this was intended to allow skip the line for access, there aren’t any good signs on where to enter with e-tickets. We tagged along with a large organized group that bypassed the long line. Also, go early before the cruises arrive or late in the day after they leave.
Response from Host, Jul 2019
Hi, Thank you so much for your feedback and we're really happy that you enjoyed your audio tours. Considering the skip-the-line access at the Acropolis, the expedited line service at the Acropolis Hill, is not yet implemented by the Ministry of Culture. It is announced but it is still on hold so we hope that this will be solved soon. It's not in our hands, unfortunately. We hope you had a great time in Athens and we're looking forward to assisting you again in the future. If you're planning to visit Rome, check out our skip-the-line combos and audio tour for all the top attractions! Best Regards, Irini from Clio Muse Tours
